Medusa Endbell Mod

[J57ltr]

It will probably hold on the end bell, but if it let go on the front it might hold for a little while. When I got my Faegiao the end bell was already popping off. My biggest problem was that the front one came off in a nasty crash. After that was when I decided to use screws to hold it in place. After checking it while bashing I noticed the motor was "loose" so I took it back apart and used a dremel with the wire wheel to clean it then reattached everything and added the green sleeve retaining compound. (there are several Green compounds most are low strength threadlockers). Let us know how it stands up.

Well you aussies have Google?
Its one of those two component glues.

I will stick with Loctite 603, i have stuff that is meant to secure bearings, that should be realy nasty stuff and should hold...

JB weld is a 2 part epoxy and is one of the most widely known here in the US. There are tons of different 2 part epoxies around here. I think there are a lot better ones out there but some are just worthless. I have had good luck with some of the stick epoxies that you kneed together but it wouldn't be right for this application.

603 is a good, there are really a ton of different compounds that will fit this application there are ones for bearings (like the 603) and ones for loose or worn out bearings (really) I think the tolerence on that was .025" (.5mm). You can find this stuff at industrial bearing suppliers, but look up what you want first, because most might not have it in stock and they will try to sell you "something close".
